FREMONT, Neb., March a.-(Speclal.)-The "Schellenberg case," which In some form or other has been pending In the various courts of this state for twenty seven years, came on for trial this niorn ng on Its merits before Judge Ueeder. The original action was begun by T. I'nhllng. guardian of Katherlne Kaulbach, an Incompetent person, to set aside a deed to eighty acres of land near Scrlbner to Anna Schellenberg on the ground of fraud. I'lalntlff had Judgment and the supreme court affirmed the case In 1HS2. Since then there have, been Injunctions, replevin suits and various other proceedings and over twenty different attorneys have at times been employed. The land was not ot that time vuluuble, and It Is claimed the Bhellenbergs got a good share of the crops and are now claiming by adverse pos session. The present actions were begun in 1W8 by B. Monleh and H. von 8eggren. who had acquired title from the Kaulbach heirs, and they obtained a Judgment, which was later reversed. Mrs. Schellenberg, who Is now quite old, Is under guardianship. When the case came up this morning It was found a quantity of the voluminous files In the different cases were missing. A part of these were afterwards found.

Neb.. March 51.-(Speclal Telegram.) Ry sending; a bullet through his brain. Joshua F. Wright, a gambler, widely known In Nebraska, Coloradu and Texas, this afternoon took his own life and" ended a career full of sensational episodes. He died sitting In a chnlr In the I.lndell hotel, while his wife, a bride of a few months, was watting at home for him to ret'irn from what she supposed was to be a brief business errand down town. It was In Hastings thnt Wright, six years ago, figured In a spectacular ministerial raid of all the gambling houses that had been In operation here for years. The clergymen. In the prosecution of a vigorous reform crusade, employed deteotlves from Lincoln and Omnha to assist them In driv ing the gamblers out of business. Wright had come to Hastings from Texas unme years previous to this and was reputed to be one of the boldest and most daring gamblers In the country. In Wright's establishment was found a complete layout of gambling devices, and sV. were electric ally equipped In such a way as to entirely eliminate the element of chatice upon the part of the house. The apparatus was seized, carted to the court hoiiKe square, and there a few days later burned In the presence of one of the largest crowds ever assembled In Hastings. The reform crusade resulted 'n Wright's going to Colorado, where h f il'.cwed his profession In Victor, Cripple Creek and several other places, until called, horn by the death of his first wlfs a ynr ago. Mrs. Wright died possessed of soma $15,000 worth of local reul estate, all of which had been acquired with the money lost by the men who had bucked her husband's games. Wright succeeded to the possession of the property and has since lived here. Since the crusade there has been no open gambling In Hastings, but Wright, In the few months of his residence, succeeded In now and then making considerable money In private games. He went to the Llndell hotel this afternoon and engaged a room. When the clerk went to call him for supper he found the body cold and rigid und by Its side was the revolver with which the fatal bullet hart been fired.' While there Is no doubt about the wound being self-administered, an inquest will be held tomorrow to investigate all the cir cumstances. Harvest Jubilee for lloldreae. HOI.DREOE, Neb., March 21.

Witnesses told how Brink on the night of the shooting cama Into John Doll's barber shop In a hurry, took something out of his coat, presum ably curtridges, and later shot himself.

NOT PERQUISITE WITHIN LAW MEANING Somber of Other Case of Interest Orrr thf Mate Derided by the Supreme ( onrl at Thurs day's Sitting. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 21.-(Special.) In a lengthy opinion written by Judge I-tton find concurred In by the other members, the supreme court has sustained the demurrer I hied by the attorneys of Governor George j K Sheldon In tho suit wherein the attorney j general, at the governor's request, sought , to collect $h rent for the governor's man i slon for January. The court holds that the j occupancy of the eiecutive mansion by the governor, during the term or omce, is noi a perquisite of office or other compensation as prohibited by the constitution. On general principles the court says that when the legislature has construed a pro vision o? the constitution In an adminis trative matter In one or two equally rea sonable ways It will not take the opposite view, but will adopt and follow the legis lative construction. Judge I-ettan goes on to say that there Is nothing in the con stitution which provides that the leglslaure shall furnish a state capltol building or that It shall furnish any office for the executive, but there Is no limitation on Its power to do so and the creation of the office Implies the power and the duty . . I to provide means, accessories and lnstru- mentalities for the purpose of carrying Into effect the purpose for which the office was created. Had n Hlvht to Buy It. Judge Letton cites many Instances in which an official residence has been pro vided for a state or national executive and he commends the practice. He Bays I tt cannot be questioned that the legislature had the power to purchase the property and provide for its occurancy by the gov ernor. The only question was whether the governor had the right to use It. Judge Letton says: We think tho defendant Is no more liable for rent of the official residence than any executive officer of a state institution is, who Is required, for the proper conduct of his official duties, to reside In the in stitution the supervision of which Is com mitted to his care or in which the service he renders is required to be performed. Hoon Case Affirmed. In the case of the state against t'lysses G. Hoon, In which the defendant was charged with the crime of desertion and failure to surport his family, the court lias affirmed the decision of the district court of Lancaster county by which the case against Hoon was dismissed. The defendant abandoned his wife In WOO. but continued to support her until 1904. at which time he withdrew his support. As the present statute went Into effect April S, 1903, the court holds that he cannot be convicted under It. Such conviction would be retroactive. Both abandonment and failure to support must occur since the taking effect of the statute. Both are essential elements of the crime. Holt County Mast Pay. In the case of Rock county against Holt county the court holds that the section of the statutes providing for the care of non resident paupers by the county wherein they are found and reimbursement there for by the county of such pauper's resi dence applies to all counties In the state. Holt county had contended In the lower court that the provisions of the statute did not apply to it because It had never estab lished n poorhouse. The lower court ruled that this contention was good, but the su preme court did not agree with this view. In two cases arising in Box Butte county. In which J. E. Moore, coroner, and George D. Darling, an undertaker, sued the county for the decent disposal of a body of an un known man, the court holds that the county must pay. Whether an Inquest Is necessary upon the finding of a dead body Is a mat ter left very largely to the discretion of the coroner and he will not be denied hla compensation In the absence of a showing that he has acted In bad faith. Because It may afterwards appear that an Inquest was unnecessary an undertaker who acted in pursuance to a direction of the coroner will not be denied reasonable compensa tion. EUnery Case Affirmed. The conviction for contempt of court against George E. Emery of Gage county, with the attendant fine of f25 and costs, has been affirmed by the supreme court. Emery's contention in the supreme court was that the complaint or information was void because the charge contained therein waa made upon "Information and belief only. The record showed that County At torney 8. D. Klllen has used the usual manner of verifying criminal Information by stating that the charges were true as "he verily believed." The court pays little heed to this contention, ruling that the do. fendant waived It when he made no objec tion and filed an answer of not guilty. The contempt of which Emery was adjudged guilty was an attempt to "Influence", the action of a certain Juror named Christian Miller. While leaving the court houaa Miller was accosted by Emery and was conducted to a saloon, where two glasses of beer were ordered. After becoming quite friendly Emery is alleged to have spoken of the case and to have said that some of the parties woum like to have a verdict. Miller told Emery to "cut It out" and then Emery replied that he "liked to see a fellow that way." He also said, it Is alleged, that he was going to see another Juror, too, but he was not going to say anything to him. The court says that these tacts are sufficient to constitute con tempt of court.
